RE: Future of Qmail-LDAP

Hello folks.

I have followed all of the messages which came in reply to Hugo's msg.
There are many interesting points of view and as I use qmail-ldap 
myself here is another one. ;)

Hugo, I sign that.
It would be great to see a development of qmail-ldap in the future.
Equal to other I, or let better say we - the ISP I'm imeployed - use
qmail-ldap since years.

As you can imagine it is a heavy patched version to fit our needs.
It includes some patches which can be found in Hugo's site, some self
developed ones, some changed to fit needs and fit in code and so on.
Just to note feature like the big quota patch, a mailhost routing feature or
user based settings for spam/virus checking and attachment sizes.

In summary we use it actually in a HA Mail-Cluster based on two
Loadbalancer, a number of Sun T2000 and a NetAPP Storagesystem
for the main part (MTA / qmail-pop / 3rd Party IMAP).

In combination with qmail-queue-patch and Simscan we have include
a spam filtering/checking farm and also two different virus scanning
engines. Virus engine depends on customers choise. 

With simscan and SpamAssassin tools like DCC and Razor are easy to
integrate, actually we use DCC. And based on Hugo's qenvscan patch
we actually are in the process of integrating a customer based
senderquota and also some kind of greylisting depending of
the amount of errors a sender IP/user is generation, like hammering
with massiv RCPT failures, relaying probes or ignoring the rctp count
limit.

Every day I work with the code it is impressive what could be and can
be done based on qmail. So I would appreciate a development of 
qmail-ldap even if that means I have to review all our patches or
even to send them in as wishes. :)

But besides that I only can give a big thank you to Claudio for his
work, of couse DJB for qmail and all at this list and the qmail list
which fill it with masses of ideas, help and code to make ideas come
code and for their different points of view.
